Ever since there was discussion of the State
of Illinois purchasing historic Wrigley Field from the Tribune

It is possible that no two subjects get
me more worked up than the Cubs and the
skinflint pricks who run the newspaper business. Generally, these subjects have nothing to do with one another. But now, with new Tribune Co. owner Sam Zell's continued ...

Sam Zell doesn't care about the Cubs. Sam
doesn't care if Illinois owns Wrigley Field, and the
new owners wind up paying for upgrades, and don't get any of the naming rights revenues. What Sam needs is money. Here's why the sale of the Cubs is taking so long.

If Sam Zell has his way, and the
Illinois Sports Facilities Authority purchases Wrigley Field , it
is conceivable that the Cubs could wind up sharing U.S. Cellular Field with the White Sox for at least part of a season while renovations to Wrigley were being made. That according to Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney. The ISFA already operates U.S. Cellular Field, so any conflicts with the White Sox ...

which includes the Cubs, and now you’re running around

That loud crashing you hear is the sound
of two worlds colliding. One of those worlds is
Sam Zell’s, the now-owner of the Tribune Co. who happens to own the Chicago Cubs and Wrigley Field. The other is the reality that might possibly await the future of the Cubs and Wrigley depending on what the next move is by Zell.
